That reminds me ADA selling points about 20 years ago: Type safe, concurrency, and easy to read syntax.

Then when vendors started selling SDKs for their OSes, it was an hard sell to get management to pay for the SDK and then an additional compiler, instead of using the languages provided on the OS SDK.
